Interface CapturePacketOutput<T extends Packet>

All Known Implementing Classes:

PacketOutputStream

public interface CapturePacketOutput<T extends Packet>

Allows writting of CapturePackets. The use of this class can be java IO streams or some other types of implementations. The CapturePacket is serialized in a propriatory way, not related java IO mechanism, and deserialized into a StreamPacket. StreamPacket once the transmitted accross a stream, looses its reference and its relationship to the original storage of the packet and the packet once modified can not be written backout to the original storage. Also notice that the packet may have come from a live network capture which does not have any storage at all.
